Forums - Sony Discussion - Will the PS3 reach 30m units by the end of 09?

We have about 9 weeks until Black Friday (from the current sales data Sept. 19th). From that point, the Christmas rush begins (at least in NA).

The PS3 sits at 24.55m units at the moment. Current trends suggest that the PS3 will level off around 200k a week until then. That would be 1.8m units sold (excluding any big releases that may shift hardware) until the week of Black Friday bring the total to around 26.35 million.

 

At that point, there will be 5 and a half weeks left in the year (including BF week). In order to reach 30 million units sold the PS3 would have to sell 3.65 million over  those 5 and half weeks (around 660k per week).

Do you guys think it's possible?

I think it is.

 

EDIT: I of course, did not include the impact FFXIII may have on hardware. If that even makes a difference...

EDIT 2: A $400 did 400k the week of Black Friday in 2008.

  Following weeks:

  12/6/08: 365,049

 12/13/08: 437,095

 12/20/08: 525,092

12/27/08: 477,674

So, it would need roughly a 50% - 60% increase each week from last year.

Highly unlikely. Maybe 28m-29m but not 30m.



not a chance



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I doubt it very much. I suppose its a possibility but it just seems highly unlikely.

Who think Wii will reach 60 million before the year ends? PS3 sales could be like around 28 million before the year ends though.

I agree it's unlikely, but, I still believe it's possible.

 

I think it really depends on the Christmas surge. It could be a huge hot ticket item
